Take out the guard around the steering column next to the dash(6 screws). Then the two bolts on either side of the column under the dash about an inch. Reach through the glove box and unscrew the speed wire. Then the 6 screws in the cluster. While holding down the steering column pull out the cluster (right side first, due to wiring).

How do you remove the instrument panel on a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport?

First, remove the NEGATIVE battery terminal from the battery. Remove the two black screws at the bottom of the decorative panel beneath the steering wheel column. Remove the panel. Remove the two black screws at the top of the metal shield beneath the steering column and remove the shield. In the center of the dash, remove the trim panel around the radio and controls by pulling first at the bottom of the trim, carefully. Remove the top of the panel and remove the panel. There are clips at the top and bottom. Sometimes they stick or bend and may require a fair bit of force. Remove the four black screws securing the right side of the dash trim panel. This will completely uncover the center outlet grills and the radio. Pop the clips loose on the left side of the panel. Lower the steering column to its full down position. Remove the trim panel from around the headlight knob and remove the trim panel. There are two screws on each side of the instrument cluster. Remove these. Carefully wiggle the cluster while pulling on it and it will come loose from the two connectors that plug into the rear side of it. Reinstall by reversing the procedure being careful to align the two connectors on the rear and seating the cluster. Do Not Force. It should seat flush on the seats and not require the screws to do anything other than hold it in place. I personally recommend a shot of WD40 on the connectors before plugging the cluster back into the dash.

How do you change the light bulbs in the instrument panel on a 1988 Jeep Comanche?

I have an 88 Jeep Comanche and have replaced the cluster bulbs and also replaced the whole cluster to a new cluster with a tach. You have to remove the dash trims (3 screws), then it will expose the screw for the cluster. Remove those and carefully pull out the cluster. It may not have enough slack due to the speedo cable and you may have The Cluster with a tach beside the Speedo plugs in just like the older one with no problem. Just make sure that the speedo cable clip that attaches to the new cluster with a tach fits the same or you may have to replace the speedo cable to match.
